General Francisco Franco, also called the Caudillo, was the dictator of Spain from 1939 until his death in 1975. His life has been examined in many previous biographies. However, most of these have been traditional, linear biographies that focus on Franco’s military and political careers, neglecting the significance of who exactly Franco was for the millions of Spaniards over whom he ruled for almost forty years.In this new biography Antonio Cazorla-Sanchez looks at Franco from a fresh perspective, emphasizing the cultural and social over the political. Cazorla-Sanchez's Franco uses previously unknown archival sources to analyse how the dictator was portrayed by the propaganda machine, how the opposition tried to undermine his prestige, and what kind of opinions, rumours and myths people formed of him, and how all these changed over time. The author argues that the collective construction of Franco’s image emerged from a context of material needs, the political traumas caused by the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the complex cultural workings of a society in distress, political manipulation, and the lack of any meaningful public debate. Cazorla-Sanchez's Franco is a study of Franco’s life as experienced and understood by ordinary people; by those who loved or admired him, by those who hated or disliked him, and more generally, by those who had no option but to accommodate their existence to his rule. The book has a significance that goes well beyond Spain, as Cazorla-Sanchez explores the all-too-common experience of what it is like to live under the deep shadow cast by an always officially praised, ever present, and long lasting dictator.

In 25 innovative thematic essays, The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Spanish Civil War sees an interdisciplinary team of scholars examine a conflict that, more than 80 years after its conclusion, continues to generate both scholarly and public controversy.Split into four main sections covering Military and Diplomatic Issues, Society and Culture, Politics, and Debates, the volume offers a number of unique features. It is unprecedented in its comprehensiveness and includes chapters on topics that are rarely, if ever, explored in the literature of the field: humanitarianism, children and families, material conditions, the decimation of elites, archives and sources, archaeological approaches, digital approaches, public history, and cultural studies approaches. Instead of discussing each of the two warring sides, Republicans and Francoists, separately, as is so often the case, the book’s thematic structure means that these opposing forces are examined together, facilitating comparison and fresh understanding in numerous areas of study. Contributors from the UK, the USA, Canada, Spain and Denmark also analyse the major controversies and disputes surrounding each topic as part of a detailed exploration of one of the seminal events of the 20th century.

Analysing 100 material objects which helped to shape the Spanish Civil War, this textbook explores one of the seminal events of 20th century through a unique material culture lens. From the plane that carried Francisco Franco to an anarchist newsreel to laxatives excavated in a trench, and from a woman’s death row letter to a recent graphic novel, this highly illustrated text introduces readers to totally new perspectives from which to interpret the events of 1930s Spain and their impact, both in the country itself and the world beyond it.In engaging self-contained chapters – each inspired by a specific item – a team of historians offer a panoramic overview of the Spanish Civil War, the Franco dictatorship to which it gave birth, and the ways the conflict has been remembered since the return to democracy. The result is an innovative and accessible study which not only tells the fascinating story of modern Spain, but also teaches students how to engage fully with primary sources and grounds their understanding of the era by discussing objects that are, in some form or another, often still familiar to us today.

The Spanish Civil War was a domestic conflict that had been internationalized even before the military rebellion of 18th July 1936, and the nature of international intervention was a determining factor in its outcome. Yet while policies of Great Powers such as France, Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States have received considerable attention, the global impact of the Spanish Civil War has not.This volume brings together a team of specialists to explore that impact in 20 countries across the world; from Argentina to Australia, from China to Colombia, from Ireland to India, from Portugal to the Philippines and beyond. How did governments and civil societies around the world respond to the conflict? What was its impact on culture? How has the Spanish Civil War been remembered- or not remembered- in different corners of the globe?With 20 chapters focusing on a particular nation-state, each one addresses the same set of issues; the local context in the 1930, government policies, the responses of civil society, the volunteers who went to Spain to fight or to serve in non-combatant capacities, the cultural impacts of the conflict, and the ways the Spanish Civil War has been remembered, they capture both the diverse responses and the shared themes. Rather than focussing on the Great Powers, The Global Spanish Civil War explores its impact beyond the “usual suspects”. With two thirds of the chapters dealing with countries beyond Europe, it transcends the prevailing Eurocentric vision of the existing literature.

This interdisciplinary collection of essays examines contemporary public history’s engagement with the Spanish Civil War. The chapters discuss the history and mission of the main institutional archives of the war, contemporary and forensic archaeology of the conflict, burial sites, the affordances of digital culture in the sphere of war memory, the teaching of the conflict in Spanish school curricula, and the place of war memory within human rights initiatives. Adopting a strongly comparative focus, the authors argue for greater public visibility and more nuanced discussion of the Civil War’s legacy, positing a virtual museum as one means to foster dialogue.

Durante el duro período de la guerra civil española y los primeros años de la desoladora posguerra, muchas personas desconocidas, españoles pero también extranjeros, escribieron cartas cuyo destinatario último era Francisco Franco. Las razones que propiciaron estos textos epistolares fueron muy diversas, pero todos ellos poseen un rasgo común: reflejan el clima de miseria moral y material que asoló España durante el conflicto bélico y la época inmediatamente posterior.Una obra reveladora que no solo ofrece al público general una serie de valiosos documentos históricos a los que habitualmente solo tienen acceso los investigadores, sino que además capta de forma muy vívida el panorama social y humano existente en España durante una etapa clave de su historia reciente.
